The 2013 Post Legislative Bash is this Thursday, April 11, at the Albuquerque Country Club. Robert Aragon, longtime business owner and attorney, will talk about key issues in the state. Bernalillo County Commissioner Wayne Johnson will provide an update on the Bernalillo County Commission to include the upcoming vote on the minimum wage as well as his thoughts on raising the Gross Receipts Tax (GRT). Counties and municipalities have been given the right to increase GRT, without a vote from citizens, to raise revenue for that which may be lost due to the new tax package recently signed into law.
This law will affect all New Mexicans. Your participation in this meeting will provide important information for you to take back to your respective city and county commissioners.
